The name “Healing Feather” came to me with clarity and conviction. I do not collect feathers in particular, but have friends and strangers alike gift me their special feathers, as if they would already belong to me.

Feathers are symbols of being free of the gravity of the mundane world. They link us to these forces that can help us move beyond elements in our life that are dragging us down. I chose parrot feathers for my logo because of their rainbow colours. They seem to reflect best the multicultural society I live in.

The healing energy of the feather serves us in many ways. One of the most common methods of using feathers it to cleanse the aura. Like energy healing the feather is light and powerful.

My name is Annemarie Fux and I grew up in the midst of the Swiss Alps. In 1980 I moved to Canada and since 1988 have made my home in Vernon, B.C. While living in Vernon life took an unexpected turn and I began to reassess my life and values. With three teenagers in my care, I decided to realize an almost forgotten dream from my youth. With the support of my children, I successfully accomplished a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (BFA) in 2002.

In search for the essence of art, I recognized the healer in me. Training Reiki brought up memories of a long time ago when loved ones and complete strangers would ask me to lay my hands on them. Through Reiki initiation, I became again connected to the Universal Life Force. I became a Reiki Master after three years of training in Kelowna B.C. I started to work as a Reiki practitioner in 1997.

My interest in energy healing has continued and I have completed workshops with Michel Harner, founder of The Foundation of Shamanic Studies and author of ‘The Way of the Shaman’, and Gizelle Rhyen - Berry, also of The Foundation for Shamanic Studies. As soon as I started my energy healing practice, “Healing Feather”, I attracted the interest of First Nations medicine men. They were inquisitive and eventually shared some of their knowledge.

“At the time when I met Annemarie, I was looking for an alternative solution. After numerous medical and psychiatric tests that assessed me as healthy, I was still not feeling well. My energy level was at a constant low and I was unable to focus. I have a holistic outlook on life and was ready to make changes. In the course of 6 to 7 energy-healing sessions with Annemarie, I felt like my internal “battery” got recharged and I was able now to focus my thoughts better and that definitely reflected in my ability to work and more positive attitude to life. Thank you Annemarie for your help in the difficult time of my life.”

Sarah Z.

Sarah met with me for a complimentary interview. She was suffering from chronic pain and over the years, she went through many different treatments. Needless to say, Sarah has spent a small fortune on her health. She was ready to add spiritual healing to her holistic vision of wellness. The concept of Reiki was new to her and she was not sure if energy healing is in accordance with her religious belief system. With a leap of faith, she decided to try it. Here is her experience: “I have been dealing with debilitating joint pain for 16 years using conventional allopathic remedies. Nothing ever worked. Energy Healing helped me to heal the mental and emotional issues behind the pain. Within six months, I can say I am pain free for the first time. Energy Healing works. Annemarie has been a gift from the Creator.” Thank you ~ Sarah

During a Healing Energy session I tune into you, to your energy field and your physical body. The energy field has many levels and each level has its own flow. I scan the vibrations with my hands, slightly above your body. This process allows me to assess where the problem(s) manifest and where the connection is interrupted.

Usually, I guide you through a meditation to help you relax. In this relaxed state, you can allow yourself to receive healing energy. During the session this gentle energy soothes or eliminates physical, mental, and emotional pain. At the same time this energy helps you to recognise what changes need to take place in the future for the benefit of your health.

Before and after each session, I prepare and cleanse my healing room with specific herbs to cerate a sacred place while the session takes place.

I conclude the session with a cup of tea (or coffee) and talk. Each person experiences the healing session in their own way, but all experience a sense of well being. 

Energy Healing is an holistic approach to facilitating the return journey to health. It involves tracing the cause of any suffering through the physical and emotional symptoms to its roots deep within our psyche.

If you are new to the concept of ˜energy healing”., it can be confusing to choose one module above the other:

Reiki is a well-known and accepted module because this energy is never harmful. This gentle energy is transmitted through the healer’s hands. The roots of Reiki are in Tibetan Buddhism and rediscovered by Dr. Usui from Japan on his spiritual search. Reiki is a simple healing tool which can only be administered with unconditional love.

The Five Principles of Reiki:

•  Do not anger just for today 
•  Do not worry just for today
•  Do work hard, honestly and do your best
•  Show gratitude love and respect to all living things
•  Live in the present because it is the only real time.

Shamanism

Michael Harner, director of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies is instrumental in the revival of shamanism. The word shaman comes from the Siberian language and applies to either man or woman. The shamanic methods are strikingly similar the world over. Many books about shamanic healing are now available. Still it is important to learn with an experienced shaman, because the shamanic path is complex and not without danger. One aspect of shamanic healing is soul retrieval and extraction. Soul retrieval is the process to retrieve a part or multiple parts of a person’s soul that was left behind due to trauma or frightening circumstances. During the process of extraction mental, emotional, physical blockages or other intrusions are removed.

“Things a Shaman Sees” from Way of the Shaman, Michel Harner page 55 “Everything that is Is alive On a steep river bank There’s a voice that speaks I have seen the master of that voice He bowed to me I spoke with him He answers all my questions”

The Melchizedek Method, how Alton Kamadon teaches, is a continuation from ‘The Flower of Life Symbol’ to ‘The Hologram of Love’. The whole universe was born through this sacred sphere. It is the sacred symbol of unconditional love. Our DNA, RNA was born through this holographic pattern. The finest particle of our atomic cell structure has this pattern within it. Healing takes place through activation of the Hologram of Love Merkaba incorporating the Unversal Omni-Merkabah of Love.
